Re: strawberrynet.com/

When I ordered l'instant edp yesterday the paypal option was not there, so i paid by credit card. Today they asked for a utility bill which I don't have since they're all in my parents' name. Has anyone sent or not sent a bill after receiving this message? how long did your refund take if you didn't send a bill? any feedback would help thanks

I have not seen l'instant edp listed there for a couple months now and I check every day

Rant.

I wanted to buy Pure Malt and it was still being sold on strawberrynet about two weeks ago for around 60 pounds.

A BNer said best not to risk it in another thread (not to me) so I assumed it was a fake site or something. Then I see someone make a thread about strawberrynet asking if it's legit and everyone in that thread saying it is. Missed out on Pure Malt because of that.

Re: Rant.

Have to agree with the replies above.

There is quite a bit of info on Basenotes about Strawberrynet, most of it quite positive if I remember correctly. You probably should've checked some more info before basing your decision on what one member said. And BTW, just because someone is a Basenoter doesn't automatically mean they know what they are talking about or are more credible than anyone else.

Re: Rant.

Actually, I think they may have had it on their website but either didn't know they were out of it or forgot to take down the link. There was that much demand and they had it that long after it was released? I don't think so. Also, right after people started mentioning it was available there, it suddenly disappears. That seems a bit fishy.

OK, so we're flooded with threads (on a very large forum) for days (or longer) by various members saying more or less they'll sell a kidney or barter their first born for a bottle of Pure Malt, or starting threads just to say that they want to smell it but haven't gotten a chance to. Then someone decides to post a link to a website that has some available. Shortly after it's no longer available on that site. In light of that it doesn't seem that fishy. :P

Re: Rant.

I was saying that and the fact that tons of people have been searching for it for a long time makes the whole situation seem a bit strange. Where are the people bragging about how they just got in it the mail from there? Well anyway, I think I'm done with these boards, not really fun anymore. Enjoy all your future fragrance chats, Bye!

I don't know. I know if I was able to score a fragrance that seems to evoke a riot every time it's name is mentioned with even the possibility of being available, I probably wouldn't tell anyone, just in case I wanted to get more or something. Plus there are WAY more lurkers than posters it seems as well. Just me though.

PS. Nothing meant personally against you or what you said when I quoted you. It just didn't seem as odd to me as you thought it looked.

Re: Rant.

Hmm... some people do need to take a chill pill. The problem with written communication is it misses out on the tone of delivery & loses a big part of the poster's original intentions. So try not to be too quick to take offence. Cool?

Re: Rant.

The reason you don't hear about people receiving it is because they hype it up so much that when they realize it's a toned down version of A*men with a whiskey note that lasts all of 30 minutes and basically the same patchouli drydown. It's good, but not the holy grail.
